Roughly 2,400 people marched Saturday in Berlin, Germany to
protest a Russian law that prohibits the promotion of “gay
propaganda” to minors, effectively banning public demonstrations in
support of gay rights.

The law's passage in June has provoked worldwide outrage and calls
for a boycott of the Winter Olympics to take place next year in
Sochi.

The protesters marched through the streets carrying signs which
read “Enough is Enough!” and “Stop Homophobia.” Many took
aim at Russian President Vladimir Putin, who signed the bill into
law.

German television personality Alfonso Pantisano attended the
rally.

“We demand that human rights be observed and defended,”
Pantisano told UK's The Guardian. “We are not here today
because of our homosexuality and we're not here because we care about
politics. We're here because we're human beings and we believe that
in 2013 human rights must be defended everywhere.”
